It isn't normal for an American who has never been outside the US to use US/American currency. It implies a recent and significant foreign influence/experience and it could be military, doesn't have to be a foreign citizen. Cooper experienced foreign currency..

This is pure speculation. The bottom line is that it is an unusual request regardless of who you are or where you're from. To draw any conclusions is a stretch.

What we do know is that DBC had no discernible accent. That's it.

If I had to guess, I would say it's simply a phrase--if accurate--that is simply an attempt to be specific with respect to his demands. Furthermore, as those of us who are familiar with the Seattle and Vancouver, BC area in the 70s and 80s can attest, it was common for businesses in and around the area to accept currency from the other country at the current exchange rate. This was more common in Canada, but it happened in the US too.

Ridiculous. You call it speculation then proceed to speculate..

This is where this forum gets nauseating. Lack of critical thinking.

You argued for conjecture. Now reject it. Double standard or personal bias?

It would be extremely rare for an American without foreign influence/exposure to use the term US/American currency, that is very significant and denying it is denying experience, reason and logic.

95% of this case has speculation and conjecture... you can reject virtually everything if you want to apply a strict proven fact only standard. The very nature of the unsolved requires speculation and conjecture to advance it.

You claim it is extremely rare for "an American without foreign influence/exposure to use the term US/American currency" while in the US.

Okay, support your claim. You're going to have a problem defending this assertion even anecdotally.

I'm an American, have been around for 52 years, have lived in Seattle and don't buy it. Furthermore, I highly doubt my experience and perspective is devoid of reason and logic.

Oh, one more thing: My suspect is Sheridan Peterson who, in fact, spent many decades overseas. My point being, I have no bias.

Wow, this got kicked up a few notches just now.

Nonetheless, I consider "American currency" virtually meaningless.

Personally, I'll spend my time analyzing things such as how DBC was familiar with Yuma? Why he didn't bring his own parachute? What his plan was if he had to abort the hijacking in Seattle? And, why he wanted the airstairs open immediately after departing, once again, Seattle?

But, that's just me.

There is nothing to waste time on.. US/American currency is significant, implying a foreign influence, that is it. The end.

Apparently, in your 52 years in America those terms are widely used...  very very odd. Did you work in a currency exchange?

As a matter of fact, I was in the currency, futures, puts, calls, etc. business. Beyond that, I'm certain all Americans have heard the term "American currency" too many times to recall in life. The context is where a distinction can be drawn.

My point is as follows: It would be somewhat unusual for any person, of any nationality, to use any such term when dealing with a "native" transaction. For example, in Canada you wouldn't normally request "Canadian currency" in the normal course of business. Therefore, to claim that DBC's use of the "American currency" phrase implies that he was an American who had spent time out of the country and that most Americans would never say such a thing is a leap.

Again, on what basis do you make this claim? From what I can tell you base it upon your "experience, reason and logic." Okay.

Simply put, I'm asserting that any American could have used this phrase even if they had never traveled outside of the Pacific Northwest. Period.

I don't give a shit if you buy it or not.. MY experience, reason and logic tells me IT IS SIGNIFICANT.

My criticism of your comment is the hypocrisy.. I really don't care what you think.
